Chapter 1615
The motorcycle stopped at the edge of the deep pit. The leading figure dismounted, and beneath the armor, his gaze fell upon Lin Qiye at the pit's center. His brow furrowed slightly.
"I thought it was a 'Mystery' above 'Klein' level... but it's actually a human..."
"Can a human truly possess such terrifying power?"
In the pit, the figure draped in the deep crimson cloak slowly walked toward the crowd.
At his movement, the knights present changed expressions. The patterns on their armor lit up in sequence, and a powerful aura emanated outward.
"Hmm?" Shen Qingzhu sensed their aura and raised an eyebrow. "Most of them have 'Unmeasured' aura, with a few at 'Klein' level... is that the amplification from the armor?"
"Should be." The voice of Number 27 rang out. "There's a trace of Chloe's power on those armors."
Just as the knights were gathering their strength, the leader raised his hand, signaling them not to act rashly.
He was a knight in red and white armor, with a golden cross branded on his chest. A Western longsword hung at his waist. Though not burly, he exuded a sharp,凌厉 feeling.
"You must be the Knights of Holy Judgment?"
Lin Qiye stopped before him and slowly spoke.
"That's correct." The knight nodded. "I am Charles, Knight Captain of the Knights of Holy Judgment... Who are you?"
"Lin Qiye, Director of the Special Operations Department, Night Watch of Great Xia."
"Great Xia?" Charles spoke in surprise. "You mean that country that's said to be free from mist pollution?"
Upon hearing this description, a strange feeling flickered through Lin Qiye's heart, but he still nodded calmly: "That's right."
"That country isn't exactly close to London. What brings you all the way here across such a vast distance?"
"I'm looking for someone."
"Who?"
"Chloe."
The moment Lin Qiye's words fell, the knights' bodies tensed slightly. Then they tightly gripped their weapons, the patterns on their armor blazing once more, and murderous intent swept forth!
Charles's voice also grew cold:
"You seek the Lady Saint? For what purpose?"
Seeing the knights react so intensely, Shen Qingzhu, standing behind Lin Qiye, narrowed her eyes. She exhaled a puff of smoke, crushed the cigarette underfoot,
Next moment, a Chief God-level pressure descended abruptly!
The Chief God's might pressed down on the knights' hearts. Their faces beneath the armor paled, instinctively stepping back half a pace, but after a moment, they gripped their weapons tighter and stood firm once more, their killing intent growing sharper!
"Some backbone." Shen Qingzhu spoke in surprise.
Lin Qiye glanced back at Shen Qingzhu, who immediately understood and收敛 her aura. Meanwhile, those tense knights finally relaxed, their backs soaked with cold sweat.
Yet among them all, only Charles remained unmoved, standing firmly in place without retreating a single step.
He glanced at Shen Qingzhu and spoke in a low voice: "Even a god has shown up... What exactly do you want?"
"Rest assured, we mean no harm to Chloe. We simply wish to meet her." Lin Qiye's voice softened slightly. The棒的Shen Qingzhu had already struck; now it was his turn to gradually化解 the knights' vigilance,
"Our strength, you must have sensed it. If we had ill intentions, we could have used force directly... I wouldn't be negotiating civilly with you here, would I?"
Charles's brow furrowed tightly. His gaze swept over the four figures of Lin Qiye repeatedly, as if deep in thought.
After a long while, he nodded:
"Very well. Follow me."
Hearing this response, the knights behind him seemed startled. As they moved to counsel him further, Charles had already swung onto his motorcycle. The roaring engine shattered the night.
The other knights could only return to their vehicles, following behind Charles as they roared toward somewhere in London.
Lin Qiye exchanged a glance with the other three. Their figures turned to streaks of残影, keeping close behind.
The knights traveled through the ruins for about十几 minutes before, in the silent night ahead, a faint light finally appeared.
Lin Qiye squinted to look. It was a towering cathedral. The grand dome rose at the center of numerous castle-like towers. At the corners of the church stood several white stone statues, figures from Western holy religion.
And that faint glow came from within the cathedral's stained glass windows, swaying gently in the night like candlelight.
Seeing this, an astonished expression appeared on Lin Qiye's face.
He had assumed the knights survived in the mist by living underground. Now it seemed this cathedral was their shelter... Strangely, the mist shrouding all of London had not invaded the cathedral, as if an invisible barrier held it at bay.
"Somewhat like a miniature version of Great Xia's Miracle Wall." Shen Qingzhu's gaze swept over the cathedral. "It seems whoever arranged this cathedral is no ordinary person..."
The knights' motorcycles pulled up around the cathedral and slowly stopped. As Lin Qiye was about to step within the cathedral's perimeter, his脚步 suddenly halted.
He looked up toward the cathedral's tower, his eyes filling with ill intent.
"Lay down your weapons. They are guests." Just as Lin Qiye was about to speak, Charles's voice rang out from below the cathedral.
Charles removed the head of his armor, revealing a weathered Western face. Black, slightly curled hair fluttered gently in the wind. He shouted toward the cathedral's towers.
Hearing his voice, the knights hidden atop the towers slowly收敛 their aura and vanished.
Wu Quan's hand, secretly raised, also lowered.
"Some standard security measures. Please don't take offense." Charles parked the motorcycle and walked up to Lin Qiye and his group. "Come. I'll take you inside."
Seeing Charles truly had no ill intentions, Lin Qiye relaxed somewhat and followed him into the cathedral.
The interior space of this cathedral was far larger than it appeared from outside. The soaring golden dome rose at least a hundred meters above the ground. Both sides were covered with colorful paintings throughout the arched hall. Even under the dim candlelight where the full picture couldn't be seen, the grandeur was still palpable.
Every十几 meters within the hall stood a knight in armor. Upon seeing Charles bring people in, they first showed surprise, then respectfully bowed.
"This cathedral... did you build it?" Lin Qiye examined the paintings on both sides as he asked.
